FSX North American P-51D 'Scat VII'

This is a repaint for the Warbirdsim P-51D Mustang 'Restored Part 2' pack depicting P-51D-25-NA 44-72922 'Scat VII' of the 434th FS, 479th FG, and flown by Maj. Robin Olds. This was the last of Maj. Olds' Mustangs and survived the war, being sold on to Sweden then bought privately in 1958. This aircraft has been rebuilt twice, lastly following the tragic death of the owner Jim Shuttleworth in 2003, and now sports the high tail of a TF-51D. It now flies in Belgium as 'PH-VDF' though the scheme adopted is inaccurate. This repaint has some of the inaccuracies corrected, nor does it have the lengthened canopy of the TF-51D, so is not a true representation of the aircraft in its present form. Published by kind permission of John Terrell, the original author. By Dave Quincey.
